The only thing that Jamie loves more than fine dining is her specialty weapons. Jamie developed her affection for these explosive devices at a very young age. Her first experience with explosives was with fireworks at a local festival. Her eyes grew wide admiring the pyrotechnics. The noise, light, smoke, and confetti delighted the young soul in every way as she watched colored flames and sparks litter the sky. Like most of her species, Zeltrons indulge in their passions before less worldly interests, hers just happened to be with substances that decompose rapidly so copious amount of energy and gas can be released. Most of her firework experiments started off small since her species by nature prefer peaceful means compared to destructive practices. However, in Soliel’s case, her obsession for these exploding devices was viewed as aesthetic and entertaining. But her obsession for creating louder and bigger explosions grew to the point where she pursued further study by joining the local militia. During her training, she always got scolded for modifying the weapons with chemicals so there would also be a firework display along with the demonstrations. Common metals such as lithium, potassium, and iron were her favorites to play with. Due to her hedonistic nature, she went overboard one day and decided it would be great for a party she was hosting if she took the entire militias ordinance and used it to create an enormous “fireworks” display. As soon as the local militia found out she had used militia ammunition in this fashion she was discharged but not 2before taking her favorite weapons for herself. She now wanders the galaxy in search for new metals and intellect on modifying missile launchers.

K'rai Havoc had a hard life growing up. The Toff's controled his homeworld and he was quickly introduced to the brutality the Toff's brought upon their subjects. When K'rai was old enough to join the resistance movemen called Skyriver Shadows, he enlisted as an spy. When the Toff's found out the base of opperations of the Skyriver Shadows, they slaughtered many of the people at the base, and Krai, who surived with a few other operatives, left Nagai to carry on the resistance in the Skyriver. Krai turned his focus to becoming a skilled assasin. He spent many years learning from the Malkite Poisoners on how to make deadly poisons. Krai gained some secret information from a Toff datacrystal smuggled of Nagai, that the Toff's had financial support from a Imperial Sector Moff in the outerrim to fund the costly invasion of Nagai. Krai eventually learned of a new resistance movement against the Galactic Empire. Krai had no love of the Empire, since they turned a blind eye to the tyranny of the Toff's against his people and actually secretly supported the Toff regime though weapons shipments in exchange for exclusive trade agreements with the Toff Empire. He joined the rebels and assisted their movement working as a spy and assassin. In return for his assistance, Krai convinced some of the rebel leaders to supply the remnants of the Skyriver Shadows with intel on trade shipments between the Toffs and the Empire, and in return the Skyriver Shadows would assist the Rebel Alliance with their fight against the Empire. Krai plans on uniting more Nagai to eventually take back their homeworld, but to do that, they need inteligence network that the Rebel Alliance has access to. Krai now works secretly for the Rebels as a undercover agent and is finding new ways to fight the Empire and raise the needed funds to organize the resistance to free his homeworld and cause the Empire to withdraw their support of the Toff's.

T3X began "life" on an outer rim asteroid mining station originally built by an exploratory company. The company sunk significant funds into mining rights for the asteroid field and in building the station. T3X was the first droid placed on the station, used primarily for diagnostics for construction and equipment. After completion of the station, the remaining maintenance droids were removed, one was enough for an empty station. While loading the station with supplies, a lengthy process for an outer rim station, the company went bankrupt and the station and mining rights were sold at auction. The station and mining rights were bought up by a group of enterprising individuals. Being falsely lead to believe the station was fully supplied with mining droids, rations, and other necessities, the group did not hold back on the bidding. Upon arrival, the miners quickly realized how little was at the station. Eventually, one of the miners came across the now deactivated T3X. Upon reactivation, and much questioning, the group knew they would be relying on this droid if they wanted any profit from this venture. All of them were now low on funds, so the choice was made to simply reprogram the droid to accept mining protocols and use a mining laser the group purchased with their remaining funds.

Months went by with T3X doing all the mining work itself. The pace was slow. T3X, on his own, could only mine enough to sell every few weeks. While it wasn't much, it was enough to keep the group alive and have some extra money. Rather than spend the excess on a proper mining droid (a costly endeavor with how far out they were), the group decided to upgrade T3X slowly over time. The first and most obvious upgrades the droid needed were climbing claws and a dark vision package. After these and other upgrades were added, T3X became quite efficient. For the next several months, the group profited, until they could eventually buy another droid. Over time, the group grew, adding more and more droids to the operation. Eventually, T3X was outdated. One of the members of the group, however, was rather nostalgic. He decided to upgrade T3X and repurpose him again to be a mechanical droid for the other droids. T3X became this individuals pet project. Every few weeks a new part would arrive and be added on to T3X. A remote viewer to find droids without wasting energy, an internal grapple gun to reach broken down droids at a distance, and even a new Heuristic processor so T3X could accept more complex functions. Years later, the group became a company, and T3X, its mascot of sorts. Soon everybody in the station wanted to tinker with T3X's systems. Access to T3X's systems was locked yet individuals would still buy new parts for the droid. T3X was eventually allowed to choose whichever upgrades it desired.

Unfortunately, being on the outer rim, security grew to be a larger and larger issue with the station. The more successful the company became, the more issues with piracy the station had. Eventually the station became unprofitable, causing the company to lose money until, finally, the company itself went bankrupt from piracy. Not wanting all his hard work lost to pirates, or wanting T3X to be liquidated as company assets, the individual who started working on T3X issued one final command before leaving the station. "Defend the station until I come back." After giving T3X a blaster and the ability to use it, the man, along with the rest of the company, abandoned the station. T3X was alone.

For the next 38 years T3X defended the station. Through its creative Heuristics, this included maintenance, mining, and the security of the station. Security became more and more an issue as well. The pirates noticed the resources T3X had been gathering and wanted them. Several times, a small and nearly unarmed raiding party would be sent to the station to collect from the droids mineral pile. Each time, the party would meet a suspicious end. This lead to the belief that the station was cursed. After the 38 years had passed, a new leader ascended to the top of the pirate fleet. This new leader was determined to take the now significant resource stores on the station. This time, knowing the past failures, the leader sent a large, well armed force into the station. Despite its best efforts, T3X could not remain hidden in its attempts to stop the pirates. They retrieved the minerals and reported back that they encountered difficulties with a single droid on the station. Not wanting to lose any men in dealing with the droid, the leader simply ordered the destruction of the station from a safe distance.

T3X survived the destruction but was now alone and without purpose on an asteroid. Nearly a year later, a small group of scavengers went to the station. T3X was in standby mode at this time, conserving power, so was unable to resist when the scavengers took it, the only thing of value on the station, onto their ship. After being recharged and reactivated, T3X went berserk. Using the well hidden blaster, it attacked the crew of the small ship, killing them all. Taking the ship back to the destroyed station, T3X came to a revelation. To defend the station, it would have to rebuild the station. To rebuild the station, it would have to leave the station. The scavengers only took T3X, so nothing else on the asteroid was of value to steal, the station was safe. T3X could leave and, eventually, rebuild the station. Heading out into the galaxy on its own, T3X discovered how hated droids were. A recent war between two powers left much distaste for droids throughout most of the galaxy, causing its ship to be under near constant attack. T3X thus abandoned its ship and began searching for something it could use to freely move through the galaxy, in search of funding for the reconstruction of its home.

In summation for those who do not wish to read it all

T3X is a droid, abandoned by its owner. It's heuristics have adapted its last orders of "defend the station till I come back" to the point where it is currently trying to gain enough funds to rebuild a destroyed space station it once lived in.

Background - Vestige is a wraith. Her past is her own, and she rarely shares it with anyone. She has occasioned as a Bounty Hunter, a spy, an assassin and a thief, but those are only means to an end. Her real goal is to punish the Imperial leaders who turned her planet's own into nothing but pawns. Frustrated with the turn of events on Umbra during the Clone Wars, Vestige left and has scoured the galaxy for information, chance meetings, and an able bodied group of rogues willing to take on Imperial and Umbaran leadership targets to one day end the oppression and settle the disgust for her own people in her heart.

As one of the few people in his village to be force sensitive, the force did run in his family as his father was a Jedi Knight who served and died in the Clone Wars. Not long after it was discovered that he too could wield the force, Kantros was sent by his family to meet with Jedi Master Qual who was visiting Manaan at the time. Qual sensed that the force was within Kantros and sent for him to be trained as a Jedi in the Courasant Academy. From Jedi Master Qual, Kantros learned about how to be an excellent commander and that as a commander he would be able to save not only the lives of his platoon, but also the lives of those he is to protect. Master Qual taught Kantros the art of battle meditation of which Kantros even improved upon making him excellent in controlling the outcomes of battles. As Kantros grew further in his knowledge of the force, it was perceived that Kantros was excellent in his ability to heal other beings. As a result he was often sent on missions such as providing medical relief to outlying worlds where medical supplies were scarce and doctors were rare. On a personal mission sent by Master Qual, Kantros was sent to aid in the reconstruction efforts of a world attacked during the clone wars. While touching down on the planet, engine failure caused him to set down in a forested area far away from the nearest village. While there he noticed the surroundings were strong in life energy. When he went to investigate the source of this energy he chanced upon a Tyia enclave. The Revwien he found there were in very poor condition as some of the orbital bombardments must have struck their enclave as well. While tending to the wounded Revwien, he learned about their philosophy on the force. What he learned fascinated him and as a result stayed with the enclave learning all he could about their ways of controlling the force. During the time he was helping the Revwien, some of them who had a greater sense of the force felt a great disturbance as though many strong in the force had suddenly died. Through messages sent to the enclave, it was determined that the then Chancellor Palpatine had given an order to exterminate all of the Jedi across the galaxy. As the enclave was nearly reconstructed and the Revwiens healed, Kantros left along with other Revwiens and members of the Tyia on a search for other Jedi in order to help them by any means nessisary. Kantros made it his personal mission to find the whereabouts of Master Qual as Qual was the main reason that Kantros became a Jedi in the first place.

Backstory:Marek was a slave. Oh everyone knows slavery was illegal, and the Hutts had plenty of paperwork to throw at the bureaucrats to show that he wasn't, but he was a slave nonetheless. The Hutts trained him for knife fighting in their gladiator pits. It wasn't until later in life that he managed to win his freedom. Now he works as a thug, assassin, and freelance bodyguard for anyone who can afford his price.

Age 17; Eye Color black compound; Height 1.9 m; Weight 60 kgAppearanceKlick is a thin bipedal insectoid, standing 1.9 meters tall. Unlike many insectoids, including the Kibnon the Verpine had only four limbs (two arms and two legs). His head is dominated by large, black, compound eyes. He also has two antennae, one located behind each eye. His exterior is composed of hardened carapace, a green chitinous substance called carahide, that is as flexible as the skin of other creatures, yet tough enough to deflect a blade or even absorb a glancing blaster bolt.BackgroundKlick Slayn is the forth son of the of the CEO and head engineer of the Slayn & Korpil Manufacturing Company. Because of his fathers position Klick did not go to traditional schools. He spent many of his childhood days sitting with his father learning what it takes to have a good design and what you need to keep in mind when designing a product for a specific customer. As he got older he began experimenting with his own design, some worked well, others not so well. As he got older he realized that because he was not the 1st son, that he would never have his fathers full affection, or support. With this realization Klick began trying, unsuccessfully, to impress his father with his designs. Finally after years of rejection, he decided to strike it out on his own. Using his unique education and the family stipend that he still receives Klick has entered the galaxy looking to test his skills to make his own way.

Appearance R2-Q3 has had some minor visual upgrades to appeal more to his insectoid owner. The main casing is white with metallic green colored ascents, and his optical lens was removed and a triangular one installed in its place. The antennas necessary for the sensor booster were installed to look like the antenna of his Verpine master.

You guys are way better at getting images up here, but I am using Ganner's mini so a more gawky image of Ganner works for me

I wanted to mess with Lightsaber forms but played a half-jedi last time. Attempting to not play a Jedi led to Droid but since we have a droid I finally decided to just go back to Jedi, even though we have one of those too...sigh.

Amar, like all Jedi, was screened as Force Sensitive at an early age and was taken to the temple more out of tradition than any real strength in the Force. Though intelligent, Amar never fully grasped the techniques taught and was destined to never be selected by a master. During his time as youngling, Amar would more often be found in the Jedi archives reading than with his classmates or in training sessions. It was even commented by Master Drallig that if he had as much dedication to his training as he did his books he could at least be a formidable lightsaber duelist. In truth, Amar spent most of his youth burdened with fear; fear of being alone, fear of failure, though even he didn't know the reason and even the masters were unaware of it's existence.

Amar was 15, and bound for the Educational Corps when Darth Vader and the 501st besieged the Jedi Temple. While many Jedi, padawans and younglings included, raced to defend the temple, Amar crouched in fear behind a fallen pillar and watched the massacre enveloped in fear. Drenched in this fear, Vader failed to notice him, and his life was spared. Amar was still huddled behind the pillar when Masters Yoda and Kenobi arrived later, but his fear kept him from calling to them. Soon, however, the Dark Side began calling to him, feeding him visions of Master Yoda's and Kenobi's death at the hands of Palpatine and Vader, leaving him abandoned, the last of the Jedi order...and a failure beyond hope.

It is unclear how long Amar huddled in that cloud of the Dark Side, before a small light of conviction began to spark within him. Amar wrestled against his fear, and soon that conviction turned into a determination. Using his knowledge of the Archives, Amar downloaded every file on Lightsaber training and non-traditional Force users he could. He could never be Anakin Skywalker's equal in mastery of the Force, but if he could become his better in combat, the Darth Vader could be brought down and the Jedi Order restored.

Amar used his knowledge to track down a small sect of Iron Knights with whom he could practice his lightsaber technique with. He stayed with them for 4 years, rarely sleeping, eating only to fuel his training, and while he became quite proficient in the Soresu and Ataru forms, the droid bodies of the Iron Knights could not understand the level he needed to be. So he left, soon tracking down a group of Matukai. Their Force teachings resonated well with him as, historically, many of them were considered to weak for Jedi tutelage. For 5 years, he stayed with them honing his body to the Force, learning to deflect and block multiple wan-shen attacks, becoming a formidable fortress against their attacks.

Amar realizes it is time to move on, soon he will face his destiny, and Vader in combat....

Amar has constructed his own lightsaber, it choose yellow for the blade color to represent his fear and his mastery over it.

Special Actions Rage: 1/day, fly into a dreadful rage (swift action) for +5 on melee attack and dmg rolls, cannot use patience/concentration, lasts 9 rounds, after which -1 on condition track until 10 minutes of rest

Skills Climb +9 (may take 10 even when distracted or threatened), Endurance +13, Initiative +10, Perception +12, Persuasion +2 (may reroll to intimidate others but must keep the result of the reroll even if worse)

BACKGROUND:Vakim served as a soldier during the clone wars as a young corporal. His unit was disbanded shortly after Order 66 was put into effect much to his dissatisfaction. He has been taking jobs as a bodyguard/mercenary whenever contracts pop up. He still maintains contact with his old war buddies who are finding ways to aid renegade forces that are fighting against the Empire, and Vakim is hoping the day will come for his opportunity to return to the days of the glorious Republic.

He is currently finishing up a job escorting a merchant and his shipment of goods into Huttese space where a possible meeting of fate is to occur......
